Navy SEAL Chief Eddie Gallagher, who faces allegations of war crimes during his deployment to Iraq, was moved to less restrictive detention and was able to meet with his family after President Donald Trump took an interest in his case, according to Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.).
Gallagher was held in a high-security brig in San Diego since September and in October was charged with several war crimes, including stabbing and killing a wounded ISIS fighter, who was about 15-17 years old, shooting two Iraqi civilians, and impeding the investigation of his actions.
